Bug description:
[Impact]
* ubuntu when used as a guest inside a Virtualbox VM machine
[Test Case]
* Install Ubuntu and mate or other DM, experience a black screen
* Install vbox on xenial with guest and host. Test if everything works
and starts with 3d enabled and disabled, as well as different Desktop
Managers.
[ autopkgtests ]
* this package has a really huge autopkgtest suite performed by upstream on
each release, and this is the reason for me using the new release as-is instead
of patching old versions.
[Regression Potential]
* This is part of virtualbox on Debian and Ubuntu since bionic and 3 months

basically, I now detect at runtime the --check3d switch, and enable
the mesa override only for desktop and not for applications, the same
as the official guest-additions packages do.
this is the code:
+ if /usr/bin/VBoxClient --check3d 2>/dev/null; then
+ if test -e /usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/00vboxvideo.conf;
then
+ cp -f /usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/00vboxvideo.conf
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/00vboxvideo.conf
+ ldconfig
+ fi
+ fi
+ if test -e /etc/ld.so.conf.d/00vboxvideo.conf; then
+ rm -f /etc/ld.so.conf.d/00vboxvideo.conf
+ ldconfig
+ fi
the update-alternatives switch can't work when 3d is not enabled, and
with user applications using mesa-specific features.

[Other info]
After performing an "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" on a Ubuntu 16.04.4
box, graphics fails to start. I use my laptop with text boot, then I log in and
issue "startx", with "/usr/lib/gnome-flashback/gnome-flashback-metacity" in my
~/.xinitrc file. After update, "startx" (Xorg) returns me to character prompt.
Same with KDE, and while WMaker seemed to start, I still couldn't run apps like
Firefox or Konsole. Tinkering with my system for about two hours I managed to
figure out that this behaviour is caused by some Virtualbox package. After
issuing "apt-get purge virtualbox*", the normal behaviour returned. Fortunately
I don't use Virtualbox, it was installed 'just in case', so I could remove it
without affecting everyday usage. But it seems that something in Virtualbox is
seriously broken.
A cut from apt's history.log after upgrade and before package removal:
virtualbox:amd64 (5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2, 5.1.34-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2)
